You got me. And I apologize for starting a back and forth wasting your time. I have a bizarre sense of humor, I'm told. Probably from 38 years of Middle School science instructing. Things kinda rub of on a person after awhile. But you've got to admit that at a glance, Gesichert kinda/sorta could be mistaken for Gesundheit. By the way, I can't believe the jimungus length of some of the German words in books/articles I'm looking at!
I also did it to illustrate one of what makes the Luger a little more complex for me...I know next to nothing about German ((or French or Russian or, well you get the picture).
Once again, apologies.
